The Agrinautica

   Theres a "meme" floating around that tells one what lj "cliques" they're in; basically which groups on their friends list all have eachother listed as friends. The idea is interesting, but its written rather badly in certain ways.
   Most suprisingly, instead of using the familiar [lj user=emosnail] type coding, it uses the much longer route of linking to the images livejournal uses for the same purpose and linking to the info page and livejournal.

   The most critical problem in the function of the meme is that if in a large group of people two happen not to link to eachother as friends, it creates two completely seperate "cliques." For example here is what it tells me:

I am a member of 3 cliques of size 7

• emosnail, basicallyasap, slosha, nessabfly, badbree, ilivewith8boobs, colleeniebeenie


• emosnail, basicallyasap, nessabfly, badbree, ilivewith8boobs, colleeniebeenie, pavelthegeek


• emosnail, citizene, simplistic_me, suziej, jegskaltisse, sandwiches, soccermomxcore

Find the largest clique containing:

(Enter your livejournal username here).

   What this actually means is that I'm part of a group consisting of emosnail, basicallyasap, nessabfly, badbree, ilivewith8boobs, and colleeniebeenie, with pavelthegeek, and slosha as slightly less connected members (they're only not connected to eachother actually)(this is basically the group of people I've met through Kristy). I am also apparently a part of a group of UC Davis hardcore kids consisting of emosnail, citizene, simplistic_me, suziej, jegskaltisse, sandwiches, and soccermomxcore.
   I'd imagine I'm part of other smaller interconnected groups, but the thing only displays these three. If anyone knows of a similar meme that does all this better I'd be interested in hearing about it.

   I'm going to need to post five entries (including this one) in the next 29 hours in order to finish on time, so expect lots of random entries. But the good news is that once that is over I'm certainly going to go back to 26 entries per month and once again will (almost) never update more than once a day. I think before this month I'd probably made multiple entries in a day (not including entries at 12:30am and then 11 hours later) probably three times in the year and a half this journal has existed.
   But am I really even behind in the 30 entries in 30 days thing? Though I only started half-way through, on the 16th, this is actually my 33rd entry since everyone else began on the 1st. So hopefully by tomorrow I will have posted 37 entries in 30 days. Madness. I'm sure all your reactions to this are best summed up by apoplecticfittz at the end of his "Ode to 30 Blogs in 30 Days" when he says "I HATE THIS MONTH AND WISH I WERE DEAD"

   But why am I writing like I'm concluding this misconcieved adventure? I'm far from done! I'm probably going to say a lot of the above tomorrow so pretend its new to you at that time.

   Also, the photobucket server my account is on is down so you'll all be spared further pictures for now.
